Coachee and Mentee Testimonials

“I started working with Jan after stepping into a more senior role and finding myself dealing with a number of difficult people management and senior stakeholder management challenges. Initially, Jan supported me through some exercises to identify and understand more about my leadership strengths and then coached me in coming up with ideas for how I could use these strengths in the practical scenarios that I was facing, from delivering feedback effectively through to creating a team strategy from scratch. Jan listened carefully to my experiences and was able to help me plan for difficult interactions; some of which did, in fact, occur and I was able to handle far more professionally as a result of our work together. Jan was encouraging, impartial and non-judgmental throughout her coaching with me”. 

“Jan is a truly superb coach. She has excellent insight and experience and is also incredibly warm and pragmatic so certainly made me feel like I was in a safe pair of hands. I sought coaching to help me with a number of complex issues and dynamics at play at work which were impacting my wellbeing. I was unable to see the wood for the trees or even understand what the key issues were. Jan’s coaching helped untangle things bringing clarity to the key issues and supporting me to develop a strategy to confidently and pragmatically work through them”.
